When his beloved wife dies after being hit by a car while riding her bike to work in the morning, David is unable to fathom the idea of life without her, and rewinds time to the beginning of the day in order to try and help her avoid the same fate. The problem is he cannot awake any earlier, and thus cannot find a way to get to her before the accident happens. As a result, he finds himself stuck in an endless cycle of rewinding and attempting everything possible to change her fate. Will he figure out a way, or will he be forced to accept that he cannot change fate?
